be imported into the U.S. As a convenience to our bidders, we have marked

any such item into the U.S. or any other country shall not constitute
grounds for non-payment or cancellation of the sale.

in Burma (e.g., sapphires), such items may be imported into the U.S.,
provided that the gemstones have been mounted or incorporated into jewellery
outside of Burma and provided that the setting is not of a temporary nature
(e.g., a string).Where there is no symbol Christie's generally sells lots under the Margin Scheme.
